Bsa one of one thousand

[edbear2]

Am I getting confused with some edition of something else where the best one out of a hundred (or possibly) a thousand was selected until a hundred ( or possibly ) a thousand were amassed and then the best of them was chosen? The thousandth thousand seems unlikely as that implies sales of a million.

It is highly likely that I'm simply confusing something misread or misremembered with wishful thinking and await correction. On consideration it may have been one of the American firms, possibly Winchester. For sure somebody on here will know.

Thanks for that, Ed. I wasn't totally wrong then! She will be surprised.

I must have read that or something similar. I wish I'd known about it before I was taken to visit the friend of a friend in Ontario in the early Eighties - he had 173 Winchesters.
